"A new era of storytelling has begun."
AJ Goldman, LA Times It all begins one fateful night when an old-school gangster who had teamed up with three wannabe criminals is found murdered in his apartment at the run-down Anacostia Arms. The Arms was a hangout for some of Anacostia's earliest gangsters. The Italian Villa-style complex was the home to real mobsters, gamblers, addicts, and the dredges of DC society - straight out of The Sopranos. So, what's a bunch of yuppies doing in the worst part of town at a murder scene? Blunder after blunder, the con actually goes down, and they score big. Then, bust! A cool $100 million in two months gone? When the backstabbing begins, everybody loses something, a true love, a family member, lifelong friendships... A life. As the FBl and Federal Prosecutors work to solve both crimes, they find themselves in the middle of a power play between the three college buds and their late new friend, a sketchy seasoned criminal who seems to be drawing a wedge between the first timers, all while throwing prosecutors off their trail, as the cards play out. Shuffle, deal, but, don't forget to bet, or you wind up in The Dead Hand.
